Authors Patrick Ness and John Green lead the charge in raising money to help refugee children

As of right now a campaign being led by author of The Rest Of Us Just Live Here, Patrick Ness has raised £31,785 for the charity Save the Children in order to help child refugees fleeing conflict in Syria and other countries. Even better, the author offered to match all donations up to £10,000.

He was quickly joined by The Fault in Our Stars author, John Green, who made a pledge to match a further £10,000.

The campaign quickly gained traction smashing through the initial targets and now both Derek Landy and Jojo Moyes have made further £10,000 pledges. That means at the time of writing they have collectively raised over £60,000. Amazing.
